Battery Charging

Your vehicle is equipped with either a standard charge receptacle or a fast charge receptacle. The battery charge receptacle is located at the rear of the hood, just below the windshield.

WARNING
Using a non-recommended extension cord could result in fire, heat damage or charger failure, which could result in serious injury or death. Always use the recommended type of cord to charge the batteries.
WARNING
Charging from a circuit of lesser capacity and/or using a cord from the outlet to the vehicle that is not sufficient in wire gauge could create a fire hazard.
WARNING
Failure to provide adequate ventilation while charging batteries can result in an explosion. Hydrogen gas is emitted during charging and will rise and accumulate at the ceiling. Always ensure a minimum of five (5) air changes per hour in the charging area. Never charge the batteries in an area subject to a flame or spark, including areas containing gas or propane water heaters and furnaces. Do not smoke in the charging area.
NOTICE
Do not use a ground fault interrupt (GFI) type cord on a GFCI-protected outlet.

Always follow these precautions when charging:

  • Position the vehicle on a level surface. Make sure the charging area is well ventilated.

  • Make sure the key is off.

  • Always use the recommended extension cord type.

  • Inspect the extension cord for cracks, loose connections and frayed wiring. Never use a damaged extension cord.

  • Always connect the charging cord to the vehicle’s charge receptacle first, then plug the cord into a wall receptacle.

NOTICE
A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) receptacle is recommended. See your authorized GEM dealer if you do not have a GFI receptacle at your regular recharge site.

  • Make sure the charger uses a dedicated circuit to prevent overloading. If charging multiple vehicles, each vehicle should use a dedicated circuit.

  • When disconnecting the charger, always disconnect the extension cord from the wall receptacle first, then disconnect the cord from the vehicle.
